Children 5-6 years old can participate and will have their own Discovery Journal but they are not eligible for the national competition.
The National Bible Bee is a ministry founded with the mission to engage young people in the memorization and study of God’s Word and to provide opportunities to proclaim it through local, national and broadcast competitions. National Bible Bee developed a Summer Study to help cultivate not only a heart to memorize God’s Word but also to understand and apply Scripture to daily life.
This is a great family Bible study because allparticipates study the same theme at their own age levels.
